Perfect, thanks. And sorry for not checking the directory. I wouldn't have thought that would be in there ha

For anybody with a fas-dpd kit, when using the dpd powder, how crucial is the amount of powder in each scoop you add when it says add to dippers. I've watched a video by the company before and they had the dippers like overflowing so I always just did a slightly heaping scoop so that I wouldn't...

I see, thanks for the info. I guess I'll leave it for now then. Sorry I'm done, not trying to hijack the thread

I agree just wondering, for example, say there's no sand in the filter and in service it runs at 10psi. Add a little sand and it's 15. Add the correct amount and it's 25 clean and even though it's higher pressure, the more sand filters more and outweighs the downfall of lower flow. I bought the...

Yeah I've been trying to slam but I guess I thought it'd be clearing up faster. CYA 40 FC has been 16 give or take going on 5th day

That's what I've been figuring, but just starting to wonder if the filter is a big part of it. Been keeping it at shock level for 5 days now. Able to see the drain for the first time this season yesterday. I have a k2006. FC has been 11-18, trying to keep 16 Ph 7.2 CC <or equal to .5 TA 115 CH...

Ha just posted a thread with the same questions and the same filter, but I'm only wondering what normal pressure should be. Mine runs about 13 to 15 psi when clean, and I assumed that this was normal. Having a lot of trouble keeping the water clear this year, and read the label and saw the...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what my filter pressure should be at start. My water has been cloudy all season so far, so I did a deep clean of the sand filter. I think there were channels because it is working much better now and actually building pressure if I brush...

Taylor K2006 test kit, is that what you mean?

How quick would you lose chlorine on a cloudy day with little cya? I've got it very close to 30 but still coming up a little. I put 4 bags of shock in again last night (suppose to be "superchlorinating level") and mid day today again I measure basically no FC. I'm waiting on CC reagents but...

Yes I typically use liquid bleach for that reason, but it appears I don't need to. I see other posts of similar issues with low cya and like them, I just backwash and top off with well water and rain. I wouldn't think this would be enough to drop it so much. Ph 7.2 ( was about 6.8 been raising...

Mistype

Hello, I'm wondering if I should wait for my cya to come up before wasting any more money adding chlorine. It's currently less than 30 PPM. I figured this out when I added 4 bags of shock the previous night and the next day about midday the chlorine was less than 1 PPM. I'm currently adding...

Nevermind, was looking at page 1 haha, I'm sure your past this by now

Just a tip since I've sort of been through this when I bought my house... consider doing a pressure test on all the plumbing. I started everything and came back the next day and lost about 10,000 gallons. The water was below the returns. It all appeared to work normal but the pvc was sheered...
